MSc Cognitive Neuropsychology
Aims and Overview
Cognitive neuropsychology studies the selective effects of brain damage on various aspects of mental life. The aim is to offer a detailed introduction to the methods and results of modern cognitive neuropsychology. The methods will include the application of theories of normal cognition to the study of cognitive disorders arising from brain damage, and the use of inferences from single cases as to the organisation of cognition.
The programme will also explore converging evidence from techniques in cognitive neuroscience, such as functional brain imaging, electrophysiology and connectionist modelling. The programme is run jointly by the Psychology Departments of Birkbeck College and UCL, and brings together some of the worlds leading researchers in the field of neuropsychology from centres such as the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, the Institute of Child Health, and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
